xhtml 1.1 and Flash embed

Wow, great replies from everyone. As to IE7 not supporting
application/xml+xhtml -- I am fully aware (and kind of pleased, actually). I'm
using php to read the accept request header. So, if the browser doesn't
specifically state that it accepts the xhtml 1.1, I deliver xhtml 1.0 strict.
The w3c gods consider this method taboo (at best), but that's the only
inclusive solution I can find.

Standards compliance is a personal commitment to quality I made more than a
year ago. Going back to QUIRKS (or invalid but working code) is not an option.
So, I suppose I'll be hearing from all those people who are using antiquated
browsers -- but thanks to EOLAS I was probably hearing from them already.

Moving back to the original question. I suppose the thing to do is hand
re-code the object tag instead of using DW's built in "insert" feature. This
normally wouldn't be so terrible, except for now I'll also have to write and
keep track of my own javascript EOLAS hack.

Right, but the main question, is why XHTML? You can be perfectly standard
compliant with HTML. And there tends to be a tad fewer headaches like this.

XHTML is neat, but rarely is it needed.

A while ago I was about to implement a similar thing in my framework,
but I've dropped the idea. It would have been too much work for
absolutely nothing. If a browser can handle XHTML, then it can handle
HTML as well, which is what I will stay with for quite a while.

YMMV.
